Interesting.... Let baycode confirm the real battery life. I believe it should be 40+hrs, following legend set by NX1.

  I am very interested in the NX2, but the stated 4 hours battery life on the tool_nerd's ebay page put me back...  Hope it's just a typo...

Looks to me like a mistake, it says the same on the NX1 description:

I'm doing some searching on the NX2 and found a seller doing a deal for $45 (USD I assume)

I'm half tempted to go ahead. Although I haven't found anything regarding the battery life yet I'm guessing it will be around 35-40 hours, I guess it also depends what the unit is doing, being used as a DAC or just a stand-alone amp.
 
Someone needs to jump on and give it a try, Uncle H20 is leaving it up to you guys this time round.

Man I'm really tempted, but I really need to keep saving for the Fiio X1, I'm tired of using my phone as my DAP...I'll put it 3rd on my list and see what happens.

On Amazon US the NX2 has 48 reviews since around June of 2014. 28- five-stars. 4.1/5 overall.



I think there's a mix up there, those reviews appear to be for NX1. There was also some discussion about it last page.

I think it's because it's a shared listing. Amazon seems to have the NX2 listed as a "color" option on the same listing.

No one is wondering what is the DAC chip inside? Guess that, for the price, it could not be that great. But should (I want to believe) improve the SQ coming just from a smartphone headphone out. The amp part is impressive and I think it's better than most of the smartphone inside amps. So, the DAC...Well, I use the HifimeDIY Android Sabre Dac from my smartphone. And connect it to the NX1. Don't know if the DAC inside NX2 is better than the Sabre Dac i mention. But if it just somehow equal, it just improves portability i think. I think this is more for an entry level user and not for people than want to use/ separate parts (Player,DAC,Amp). Altough it can be used as a standalone amp. The main strong point must be very acceptable SQ on the go (portability) I think.
 
BTW, is there any thread for the new top of the line HifimeDIY DAC, the 9018?

Yeah, Amazon's reviews are only NX1 related at the moment.
Anyways, looking at the pics I can't seem to find the high-low gain switch on the NX2, which makes me wonder.
